The tube C hasa perforation c in its upper side in line ivith the groove a in the sashaudits inner end is cut so that a lip 10 extends out therefrcm on itsshort side which is bent over .on an angle parallel with the edge of thesash and thus practically closes the inner end of. the pocket and alsoprotects the cord fronifrictional contact with the frame and.
